Spermidine has been characterized as a natural autophagy inducer. Autophagy is a process by which cells get rid of parts that are no longer needed or don’t work right, helping cells stay healthy and promoting longevity. Spermidine has been shown to block several enzymes that negatively control autophagy and may be as powerful as rapamycin, an FDA-approved immunosuppressant with strong autophagy-stimulating effects.
